This is why I use the term African Americans to describe US blacks, because of the appalling way in which they were treated being an AFRICAN AMERICAN meant being part of a dispised, looked down upon, undesired minority, African Americans faced jim crow after slavery, which mean being dehumanised, degraded, humiliated and subject to many indignities, and relegated to second class citizenship, these laws which was anti black racism and white supremacy enshrined in law had a huge and negative impact in the lives of African Americans, who were marginalised seen as the other and socially excluded. African Americans also received no justice or protection from the whenever they were victims of violence and terror. Writing from Britain 🇬🇧

Kind words. Did you know that we didn’t even come from Africa? The history that most of us were raised with is that we were already here.

How did they keep fresh water for all these slaves? In addition to these questions there was no way to travel in the way they are teaching.

Two books to read for anyone interested in African people's history: 1) "The Shaping of Black America" by Lerone Bennett Jr. 2) "Stamped from the Beginning " by Ibrahim X. Kendhi. Both of these are great books.

[@karlthomas2360]

Lies spoken by a loser.

[@RedRabbitEntertainment]

@@karlthomas2360 It's true, but not in the way racists try to make it out. The Confederates seceded because they wanted to preserve and expand white supremacy and slavery, as stated in the Cornerstone Speech. The United States fought solely to prevent itself from collapsing on its own contradictions. It wasn't until the British started eyeing the Confederates for trade in order to further fuel the destabilization of the American continent that Abraham Lincoln sought to use the institution of slavery to draw in the support of the European powers who had transitioned from agricultural slavery to industrial colonial expansion. The Confederacy was awful and had no redeeming qualities, which is why the United States uses it to elevate themselves despite also being a genocidal racist regime that actively built and still maintains a white supremacist society while militarily occupying most of the world.

Every people and every race around the world have a mixed past with triumph and tragedy. Let the nations who have done no wrong and never enslaved (their own or others) or killed or stole land, let them step forward and condemn all others. It's much easier to cast the first stone than to forgive others their sins as you would wish them to forgive yours. Freedom from discrimination and violence will not come from shame or retribution but instead from love. People would do well to find out where modern slavery exists and thrives unchallenged and end it.
